The moment I walked in, the smell of fresh pastries pulled me right in. They offered samples of their almond chocolate croissant (amazing) and the woman at the counter was so welcoming, answering all my questions with a smile. She recommended their macarons — and I’ve never liked macarons before — but theirs completely changed my mind. Light, flavorful, and hands down the best macaron I’ve ever had. I also took home a ham & cheese quiche slice that made the perfect breakfast the next morning. Between the friendly service, delicious pastries, and cozy atmosphere, this place is a must-visit in Lawrenceville.

This is such a cute and delicious bakery! I went with a friend and liked it so much that I went back and snagged some pastries for my kids and husband an airplane ride away. I put them in a bag, and my daughter wanted more the second she finished her croissant. There isn’t really a place to sit in the bakery, but the street it’s on has plenty of tables and chairs. 10/10

If you like Frenchstyle pastries, this isbthe place to go. I got a cinnamon roll and my daughter and her s.o. got nut and chocolate croissants that were all fantastic. I also got a cream puff for later and it was delicious! You can call ahead if you know what you want. It is busy on weekends.

A traditional French bakery that has all the delicious pastries and cakes you can dream of. Pain au chocolat, almond and pistachio pastries, fruit tarts and much more. It brought back memories of all the mouthwatering bakeries in Montreal… magnifique!

I stopped by La Gourmandine with my wife this weekend after hearing great things from my family and friends. It definitely lived up to the hype. Perfectly flaky croissants and elegant pastries. I visited this restaurant at around 1pm on a Saturday and it wasnt very busy. I hope to come back soon.

I love this bakery. Great baked-goods. Great staff.
But, the shop needs a comprehensive policy regarding dogs. A large dog tried to attack a much smaller dog in the small space of the bakery today. Two humans fighting in a bakery would (I hope) have been asked to leave. This large aggresive dog was alowed to stay and was given a treat (the other dog left with its owner for its own safety.) As a customer in that tiny space, I felt unsafe. Please establish and post a policy.

What an excellent place to get delicious pastries. Especially French pastries. I thought the prices would probably be quite excessive, but this isn’t the case. Quite reasonable actually. I got to try out their clafoutis, abricotine (apricot pastry), and chouquettes.
All 3 were very good. The clafoutis was wasn’t exactly like a pudding that I imagined. It was a lot more firm. Still, it was quite tasty and not too eggy. I loved the touch of cherries in there. Good portion for the price too.
The chouquettes were a very lovely little pastry. Nice little snack and very cheap, but they are also very small. Plenty of sugar beads surrounding the patty, and the inside is a great firm texture as well. But buttery inside.
The apricot was my favorite. It was somewhat like a danish with an apricot in the middle, but also somewhat like an apricot croissant. You have to try one of these out. Not too sweet. Goes very well with morning coffee. Buttery pastry. Nice!
All in all, a very nice bakery in Lawrenceville. I’d love to come back and try out more items, but everything I had was great!

My favorite bakery in Pittsburgh I go here for cakes for any special occasion. The almond croissant here is a must try the lions can get somewhat long maybe like 5 to 10 minute wait but it’s definitely worth going.

Delicious almond croissants. I loved them so much that I had to learn to make them myself because I live 2 hours away from the closest location. Anytime I’m in the area I have to stop in. Lots of variety and I have tried quite a few of their pastries and most are very good.

Great service, excellent pastries and sandwiches! Really can’t go wrong with anything here, but would definitely recommend the Montagnard sandwich if you’re a prosciutto lover, and the almond croissants!
